A note from the founders on our thesis about “people, first.”:
As founders, we firmly believe that prioritizing your team fosters a culture of appreciation and proper incentives, driving creativity, productivity, and passion for the problem we're solving. Our goal with ShiftRx is to create a product as beloved as Chewy and as user-friendly as Stripe.
Half of the healthcare providers in the US are planning on leaving their clinical roles over the next two years. We’re trying to replace the need for traditional staffing agencies, and reduce operational overhead spent on healthcare administration. Think Rippling or Deel enabled with AI for healthcare.
We’re obsessed with the problem we’re solving, and we want you to be too.
